ATHLETIC CLUB
ASKS MEMBERS'
RESERVATIONS
Big Crowds Are Expected at
Openings to Be Held the
Second Week In
December.
. Notices are being sent to mem
bers of the Omaha Athletic club to
make reservations for the grand
opening in December at an early
date.
There will be two opening dates,
one December 12, for the public, to
which everyone is invited, and the
other on December 14, which will
be the formal opening of the club,
and to which only members and
their families will be admitted.
As the management is expecting
a large attendance on December 14,
. i has decided not to install the
pool and billiard tables until after
the opening, thereby facilitating
handling of the crowd.
M. C. Peters has appointed a
committee to assist him at both
.openings.
The call for nonresident member
ships is greatly exceeding the ex
pectations of the management and
are coming in from all over the
country from New York City to
San Francisco. A nuuiber of reser
vations for the opening already have
been made from New York, Chi
cago, Minneapolis and Salt Lake
City.
'The management announced that
the membership list will be closed
on the night of the opening of the
club, and that after that all applica
tions for membership will be placed
on the waiting list and the mem
bership fee advanced to $200.

Bradstreet's Trade Review.
, New York, Nov. 22. Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
As the country shifts from a war to a
peace basis. Irregularity In movements, un
certainty about prices, and cancellations,
the latter mostly of war-wanted products,
are strongly outlined, these manifesta
tions being accompanied by conservative
optimism as to the future and readiness
to believe that the country will respond
to readjustment with a minimum of shock.
Meantime, however, buying In volume Is In
abeyance, the general disposition is to mark
time pending the opening of clearly de
fined routes, and In a word, there Is con
siderable looking about to see what the
dispensations of peace will bring forth to
fill the gaps caused by the elimination of
war work an aspect that prominently
stands out In the iron and steel trades.
But with the lifting of numerous restric
tions, and the partial passing of govern
mental priorities, many of the arts of
peace breathe easier, and the abrogation
of these disadvantages tends to produce a
degree of what might be termed cheerful
normality. Weekly bank clearings $7,075,-468,000.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, Nov. 22. Prospects of an in
creased movement from rural sources
tended today to weaken the corn market,
and so likewise did llbeeral shipments
from Argentina. Prices closed heavy, 3c
to 8c net lower, with December $l.K'i
to $1.27 and January $1.28 to $1.28
Oats finished He to lc down, and pro
visions varying from 30o decline to 37c
advance.
Bears ruled the corn market right from
the outset. Reports that grain prices had
fallen sharply In London as well as In
Paris and that rations in Germany had
been augmented seemed to put the bulls
on the defensive. Bearish sentiment, how
ever, became much more pronounced as in
dications accumulated that big forwarding
of corn from first hands was In prospect.
In this connection, shippers were officially
advised to et wheat out of the way as
speedily as possible, and that car permits
were now being Issued freely for all grain.
It was announced also that Argentine
shipments besides being of considerable
volume Included a lair quantity to mis
country for account of the food adminis
tration. Oats declined In sympathy with corn.
In provisions, the strength of the hog
market operated at first as a stimulus to
buying, but was more than offset later
by the downturn of cereals.

FINANCIAL
New York, Nov. 22. In Its chief essen
tials today's stock market was largely a
duplicate of the previous session, prices
reacting very generally after an early
manifestation of comparative strength.
Trading was very much broader but the
occasional Intervals of activity was ln
varlbly at the expense of values. Pro
fessionals governed the day's operations,
public or Investment Interest being alto
gether negligible.
The monetary situation occasioned fur
ther restraint, local financial institutions
maintaining their attitude of extreme con
servation, although tomorrows's bank
statement Is expected to rectify In part
last week's adverse exhibit.
Poet-war conditions were again apparent
In the heaviness of motors, coppers and
other shares whose status is likely to un
dergo radical readjustment In the transi
tion to peace basis.
The caution with which various corpora
tions are preparing In this connection was
illustrated by the suspension of dividends
by a former Standard Oil subsidiary and
the decision of the General Chemical di
rectors to discontinue extra stock divi
dends. Metals, secondary motors, utilities and
the fertilizers bore the brunt of the
liquidation at the extreme recessions of
2 to 4 points, Studebaker being freely
sold In the last hour.
Recessions of 1 to 2 points In telephone
and telegraph shares was ascribed to fed
eral controls.
Shipping and oils were the sole features
of strength, but those issues reacted later
with rails and United States steel, the
latter declining 1 points and making
feeble recovery. Sales amounted to 6 6,
000 shares.
Bonds were active but featureless, show
ing only fractional changes. One block of
11,700,000 Liberty fourth 4Vis sold a 98.
Total sales (per value) aggregated $12,
600,000. Old registered 4s declined 1 per
cent on sales.

ERICAN NAVY
TO NUMBER 800
SHIPSBY 1920
Strength Will Be Doubled in
Three Years After Entry
of Country into War
in 1917.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 22.
America's naval strength will be
about twice as great in 1920 as it
was in 1917. the year the United
States entered the world war. it was
brought out today before the house
naval committee in considering the
1920 naval appropriation bill. No
comparative statement was giyen
regarding capital ships, but the to
tal number of ships will be about
800, as compared with 300 in 1917.
Twenty-four dreadnaughts will
be included in the fleet. There are
now 19 and five will be built before
July, 1920. Three hundred and fifty
new destroyers also will be com
pleted by that time.
Rear Rdmiral Taylor, chief of the
construction division of the navy,
enumerating vessels added or to be
added between 1917 and 1920, named
350 submarine chasers. 112 patrol
boats, 35 or 40 submarines, SO mine
sweepers, 25 tugs and 5 dread
naughts. Submarine chasers are
now in commission but will not be
in 1920, he said.
The 350 destroyers in 1920 will be
an increase of 250, the admiral said,
and will be completed in 18 months.
About 1,000 vessels are now in the
navy, including a number of con
verted craft which will disappear.
"How many 'destroyers has Eng
land?" asked Representative Butler
of Pennsylvania. Admiral Taylor
replied that the figures would not
be available, but that he thought
England had between 300 and 400.
Chairman Padgett and Representa
tive Kelly of Michigan, however,
said they understood that England
had about 500.
The committee decided to call on
Secretary Daniels and the general
board of the navy for a comparative
statement of the world's navies.
Attention of the committee was
directed to the Eagle boat construc
tion program. Admiral Taylor ex
hibited a copy of the contract with
the Ford Motor company showing
that the company received a fixed
profit of $20,000 on each boat. It
may also receive one-fourth of the
amount that is saved under an esti
mated cost of $275,000 each..
"I don't believe that the boats can
be built at that price," said Admiral
Taylor.
Shriners from Many
Temples Gather for
Local Convention
The Hotel Loyal was "just turn-,
ed over" to more than 50 Shriners
from the Tehama Temple at Hast
ings, who came up to participate in
the big Shriners' meeting at the
Ak-Sar-Ben den Friday.
R. E. Bryant, proprietor of the
hotel, told the boys "the place is
yours," and they accepted the offer
and "turned loose for a big Jime.
They brought with them their
patrol and drum corps and it sound
ed like a regular old-time Scottish
bagpipe concert. There are but
three Shrine temples in the state,
the Tangier at Omaha, the Sesos
tris at Lincoln and the Tehama at
Hastings. Of these the Tehama is
the baby, just having received their
charter at the last meeting of the
Imperial Council at Atlantic City
about six months ago, and having
at present 600 members.
Among those present from Hast
ings were: Potentate W. J. Rin
derspachen, W. L. Lowman, J. H.
Lohrman. C. A. Hanger and T. A.
Simms. They brought along 17 can
didates to have initiated into the
mysteries of the Shrine.
The visit of the Hastings boys
was in return of a similar courtesy
shown by the local lodge during the
month of September.
There also was a goodly repre
sensation from the Sesortris Temple
at Lincoln and a few from St.
Joseph, Mo.
